What are your cosmetic wishes?
What do you see in the mirror?
A smooth and healthy skin that radiates vitality is a beauty ideal for many, but unfortunately not a reality for all. Our skin, with its protective function, has to endure a lot in a lifetime. Not only genetic predisposition plays a role in the appearance and ageing of our skin, there are also numerous medical conditions and external factors affecting it's condition.
Skin aging
From the age of 25 onwards, the skin already starts to age, although the effects only become well visible between 35 and 40. As we age, many biological processes slow down, including skin renewal.
Our muscles lose volume and the production of collagen, which makes up 70% of our connective tissue and gives our skin its firmness and elasticity, gradually decreases. This not only slackens and sags the skin, but also creates the so-called 'static' wrinkles and folds, such as the nose-lip fold. In addition, due to years of contraction of facial muscles, which we use for our facial expressions, 'dynamic' wrinkles appear on the skin, such as the frown, crow's feet and forehead lines.
Age-related symptoms we treat at our clinic:
- Static and dynamic wrinkles and folds
- Sagging skin
- Dry and/or sallow skin
Skin disorders
Many skin conditions have adverse effects on skin quality:

External factors
Besides ageing and skin disorders, external factors also take their toll. Air pollution and weather influences, such as: sun, wind and cold, are some examples, but an unhealthy lifestyle also contributes to diminishing skin condition. You will often hear us tell you to use good sun protection (SPF50) as a basis in preventing skin ageing.
